Sequences like Jango taking on a lightsaber-wielding Jedi with his arsenal of gadgets and the pair’s ensuing chase through an asteroid field are some of Attack of the Clones’ most memorable set-pieces.įrom the whiny Kylo Ren to the smarmy General Hux to the derivative Supreme Leader Snoke, the first part of the Star Wars sequel trilogy didn’t have a lot to offer in terms of great villains.
Jango exists on the fringes of the Coruscant underworld in the early scenes, sending proxies to assassinate Padmé for him, but he comes into the spotlight when Obi-Wan tracks him down on Kamino. Just as the second chapter of the original trilogy featured bounty hunter Boba Fett as a side villain, the second chapter of the prequel trilogy featured his bounty hunter father Jango as a side villain. He isn’t planning to destabilize a democracy or end 1,000 years of peace he just wants to sabotage Anakin’s chances in the Boonta Eve Classic.īut the podracing sequence is one of the movie’s greatest set-pieces, and Sebulba’s attempts to destroy Anakin’s pod continually increase the tension of the scene. The threat presented by Sebulba in The Phantom Menace isn’t as high-stakes as the main villain.
